COMBINATION FURNITURE.

Application led July 19, 1922. Serial No. 576,057.

T0 all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, HARRY Soorr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the county of Lucas, State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Furniture; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enablev others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in furniture, and particularly to combination or convertible furniture. l

One object of the invention is to provide an` article of furniture which includes a drawing.

novelly constructed and arranged bed, and which bed is adapted to be concealed within the article that its presence Vwill not be known. y

Another object is to provide a device of ythischaracter which has simple, cheap, and durable means for mounting the bed so that the same may be easily and quickly moved Y .into or out of operative position.

Other objects andl advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying In the drawing: Figure 1 is a front elevation of an article of furniture made in accordance with the invention, the bed being in folded position.

Figure 2 is a side elevation showing the bed in lowered position.

Figure 3 is a top plan view of the device in the position of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional View through the rear portion of the device, with the bed in folded position.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawings, there is shown an article ofV furniture in the form of a bureau. indicated by the numeral 10, having the closet 11 at one side, and the bed receiving space 12 at the rear. Disposed lhorizontally through the space 12, and extending transversely of the bureau, is a rod 13, the inner end of which is secured in the inner end wall 111, of the rear compartment or space 12, said rod extending a short distance outwardly of the outer end of said space.

The bed comprises a frame 15, having the spring bottom 16. One of the longer side members of the frame, that indicated by the numeral 17, being considerably wider than the other longer side, for` the purpose of covering the outer open end of the `space or compartment 12, when the bed is disposed therewithin. The frame is provided with foldable legs 18, for supporting the bed `at the proper distance above the floor. EX- tending transversely of the foot end of the bed frame is a bar 19, which has an opening longitudinally. therethrough for the reception of the before-mentioned rod 13, and on which rod the bed frame is adapted for pivotal movement into and out of operative position. Extending outwardly from the ered on the rod 13, as its pivot.

When the bed is in the position of Figures 2 and 3, it is ready for use, the bed extending transversely of the end of the bureau, and being supported on its legs 18. When the bed is to be placed out of use, the knob 20 is grasped and the bed swung `upwardly into arvertical position, opposite the open end of the compartment 12, and the bed then pushed into said compartment. As the bed is pushed into the compartment, the rod 13 slides into the bar 19, and the side 17 covers the open end of the compartment, thus formingthe end wall of the bureau, and concealing the bed.

What is claimedi-S: n

The combination with anarticle of furniture having a compartment in thek rear thereof of dimensions commensurate with the height and width of the article, and, one end opening through one side of the article, a rod securedl within the compartment and extending horizontally therein and through the open end thereof, and a bed frame having a transverse member slidably is capable of pivotal movement into and out of vertical position with respect to the ln testimony whereof, I afHX my signs open end of the compartment and the side ture, in the presence of two Witnesses.
